Yeah this should certainly be possible but at the moment we're still working
on the implementation so as yet, no working URI code.  If you're interested
and you have any suggestions you can contribute to the discussions on the
wiki:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/cpp-netlib/wiki/URIAPIRequirements

I don't know yet, but I imagine something similar to:

namespace bn = boost::network;
bn::http::uri instance("http://example.com/?foo=bar&x=y")
std::string scheme, host, path;
std::map<std::string, std::string> query_params;
instance >> bn::scheme(scheme)
         >> bn::host(host)
         >> bn::path(path)
         >> bn::query(query_params);
assert(scheme == "http");
assert(host == "example.com");
assert(path == "/");
assert(query_params["foo"] == "bar");
assert(query_params["x"] == "y");
